Failing in Wartime - Laura Merzig Fabrycky

It has never not been wartime.They have always been dying andgrieving—deep,rib-cage-gasps of lament.And I have been idle at my computer,checking my Facebook account forthe latest distraction from the terror,disease,death,orphans,women and children trafficked,the cruel and nearly pitied lives.Hands outstretched to my closeddriver’s side window.The locked door.I cannot breathe this kind of air for long.
